Captain Midnight #28

When Japanese forces kidnap an American boy inventor to complete a weapon that could devastate the U.S. Navy, Captain Midnight infiltrates enemy territory in Tokyo to track him down—and discovers the stakes are far higher than a single rescue. With the enemy fleet about to deploy the stolen invention against American warships, the clock is ticking for the Captain to find a way to stop them before it's too late.

When "Pappy" Jackson—a war hero struggling to rebuild his confidence after losing a leg in combat—gets a shot at a valuable transport contract, Captain Midnight steps in to help his old friend compete against a ruthless rival. But saboteurs working for the competition have other plans, trapping both men in deadly situations that will test whether Pappy can find his nerve when it matters most. It's a story that proves sometimes the toughest battles aren't fought in the air.

When the evil Professor Mongrone resurrects the executed criminal known as the Knifer—transforming him into a grotesque creature with a gorilla's brain—he'll stop at nothing to steal Captain Albright's revolutionary Robot Infantryman invention for enemy governments. Captain Midnight must race against time to rescue his friend Chuck from Mongrone's clutches and unleash his mechanical creation before the mad professor's twisted assassin claims more lives. It's a high-stakes battle of science and savagery that will put the Robot Infantryman to its ultimate test.
